If using multiple compute nodes, all compute nodes will need to be connected via a network interface and switch with VLAN trunking enabled.

Description

Deploy the Quantum virtual network service and configure Nova to use QuantumManager as its NetworkManager.

Quantum includes several plugins. The linuxbridge and openvswitch plugins are covered here. Feel free to experiment with the cisco, nicira, and/or ryu plugins as well, but note that deploying these requires additional software or hardware.

For clarity, these instructions assume a single node acts as the controller and compute node. They also assume that nova and mysql-server have already been installed and configured as described in the main test cases.

If using multiple compute nodes, all compute nodes will need to be connected via a network interface and switch with VLAN trunking enabled. Non-controller compute nodes require installation and configuration of the linuxbridge or openvswitch agent along with nova-compute, but do not require the quantum-server to be run or database to be configured.

Setup

Install openstack-quantum:

$> sudo yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing openstack-quantum

If running on Fedora 17, until an updated RPM is available, as root edit /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/quantum-2012.1-py2.7.egg-info/requires.txt and change "lxml==2.3" to "lxml>=2.3".

Create the database user that will be used by either the linuxbridge or openvswitch plugin:
